Drink Driving Charges and How They Are Defended
A drink driving charge should never be taken lightly. The starting point is a 12-month disqualification, yet many prosecutions rest on procedures that can be challenged – from how the breath sample was taken to whether the device was properly calibrated. Where the reason for driving was genuine, a special reasons argument may even avoid a ban, and failing to provide a specimen issues can undermine the case entirely.
Speeding and the Risk of a Driving Ban
speeding penalties depend heavily on how far over the limit you were and your record. For drivers close to a totting up ban, everything can turn on the quality of the exceptional hardship case put forward – which is where expert preparation matters most.
Drug, Careless and Dangerous Driving Charges
drug driving, careless driving and dangerous driving allegations require careful handling. The difference between careless and dangerous driving, and the reliability of drug-test results, are often decisive – and our experts know how to argue both.
